The common response from shop owners was that she could simply knock on the door for assistance. However, Rita knew that for someone like her, who values independence, this was not a practical solution. Taking initiative, Rita decided to create her own wheelchair ramps (坡道), but with a creative twist. Instead of traditional materials, she began constructing ramps using colorful toy bricks. However, as she started her project, she quickly realized that acquiring enough bricks was a challenge in itself. Many people hold onto their brick collections with fondness. Furthermore, she found that most available sets were not suited for her ram p designs. In a moment of helplessness, she reached out on social media for assistance. To her delight, the response was overwhelming. “My first donor asked how many pieces of bricks I would need to finish my very first ramp,” she shared. After estimating that she might need around 1,000 pieces, she was thrilled when he arrived with two large boxes of toy bricks. Since embarking on this heartwarming effort in 2019, Rita has built numerous ramps, earning her the lovely title of “Brick Oma”, or “Brick Grandma”. Her colorful creations have transformed shops across Hanau, including sweet shops and grocery stores, making them more accessible, one brick at a time. The colorful ramps also serve as a helpful visual cue for those with low vision, signaling an incline (倾斜) ahead. Building a ram p typically takes Rita just three to four hours, and as donations continue to pour in, she is grateful for the support. Her landlord even provided her with extra space to store the growing brick collection.

Through her colorful brick ramps, she is not only paving the way for greater accessibility but also spreading happiness and hope throughout her beloved Hanau. 1.What does Rita lay emphasis on? A.

But before I could finish my sentence, Mum cut me off. “There will be no high school,” she said. “We don’t have money for uniforms or school shoes or books.” It was 1963. I was 12 and had spent the whole of primary school not wearing any shoes, but I dreamed of being a teacher. My family was very poor, and my three older siblings (兄弟姐妹) hadn’t gone on to high school. Two of them had started work, and my older sister stayed home to help mum look after the younger kids. Two weeks before I turned 13, I started cutting threads (线) off shirts in a clothing factory where I met George, and later we married. In time, we had our three kids, Darcy, Georgia, and Kelly. George found work on cattle stations, so we moved to the outback in Western Queensland. I taught our three kids during their primary school years, and that scratched my teaching itch a little, but the desire to study more never left me. “When we retire, I want to go to university,” I told George. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. After 40 years in the outback, we retired in 2015, and I seized my chance. At the age of 66, I enrolled (登记) in a programme with the University of the Sunshine Coast called the Tertiary Preparation Pathway, which helped mature students prepare for university. Next, I enrolled in a BA majoring in English. Walking onto campus that first day in February 2017, it was clear I was the oldest student there, but that didn’t put me off in the slightest. My biggest challenge wasn’t the coursework; it was the technology. My grandchildren constantly sent me encouraging messages saying, “We’re so proud of you, granny,” or asking how I was doing. At last, I passed all my subjects with flying colours, and when I was invited to graduate, I cried. I couldn’t believe I’d done it. Wearing my black robe and hat, I marched into one of Johnny Farnham’s famous songs. I’ll never forget that feeling, waiting in the wings backstage for the Dean to call my name. “This is a wonderful achievement,” he told me as he handed me my degree. I couldn’t agree more. 1.Why couldn’t the author go to high school? A. Because her family was poor. B. Because her siblings prevented her. C. Because she was not good at reading. D.

A BA majoring in a foreign language. D. A course about designing clothes. 3.What is the author’s grandchildren’s attitude towards her attending university? A. Hesitant. B. Favourable. C. Objective. D. Worried. 4.What can we learn from the text? A. A good start is half the success. B. We gain the skills to solve real-world problems through education. C. It’s important to focus on one task at a time if you want to learn efficiently. D. We should keep up with our dream and try to make it one day. 【答案】1. A　2. A　3. B　4.

In 1978, a young Michael Jordan, passionate and full of dreams, tried out for the college basketball team at Laney High School. However, he was cut from the team for his lack of height and skill. For Jordan, this wasn’t just a rejection; it was a challenge. Instead of giving in to disappointment, he transformed it into an extraordinary drive. This early failure became the fuel for his legendary work ethic. He adopted a mindset of continuous forward progress, a perfect example of “onwards and upwards.” He began waking up before dawn to practice. He would spend hours alone on the court, honing his shooting, his dribbling, and his defensive moves. His competitive fire burned constantly; he turned every minor setback into a reason to improve. His journey was anything but smooth. After rising to stardom at the University of North Carolina and being drafted by the Chicago Bulls, Jordan faced tough opponents like the Detroit Pistons, who repeatedly knocked his team out of the playoffs (季后赛) with their physical “Jordan Rules.” Yet, each defeat only hardened his resolve. The ultimate proof of his strong spirit came after he finally led the Bulls to their first NBA championship in 1991. This victory was not the end of his story. He went onwards, leading the Bulls to two more consecutive titles, achieving a historic “three-peat.” Then, following the tragic murder of his father, he shocked the world by retiring from basketball to pursue baseball — a new difficult challenge that showcased his courage to start again from the bottom. But the basketball court called him back. In 1995, he returned to the Bulls with the simple message, “I’m back.” He led the team to a second, even more difficult “three-peat” from 1996 to 1998, solidifying his legacy as the greatest. Michael Jordan’s story teaches us that it is the courage to face setbacks, the discipline to keep improving, and the spirit to always move forward that truly defines a champion. 1.What was Jordan’s immediate reaction after being cut from the high school team? A. He decided to quit basketball forever. B. He accepted the reason for his rejection. C. He saw it as a challenge and became more determined. D. He blamed his teammates for the failure. 2.Why did Jordan shock the world by retiring from basketball in 1993? A. He wanted to prove he was the greatest player without winning more titles. B. He lost his passion for basketball after winning his first championship. C. He sought a new challenge as a way of dealing with a personal tragedy. D. He had a serious injury that prevented him from playing at a high level. 3.What can be inferred about Jordan’s character from his training habits? A. He relied mostly on his natural talent. B. He believed success came from nonstop hard work. C. He preferred to practice alone rather than with the team. D. He was often discouraged by minor setbacks. 4.What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To list all the awards Michael Jordan won in his career. B. To describe the history of the Chicago Bulls basketball team. C. To show how Jordan overcame setbacks with a never-give-up spirit. D. To compare Jordan’s career with other basketball players. 【答案】1. C　2. C　3. B　4.

Over the next seven years, Huang worked to develop many devices needed for deep-Earth exploration.(黄大年是一位杰出的科学家。他在英国学习和工作了18年，但当他意识到祖国需要他时，便放弃了高薪工作，毅然回国。在之后的七年里，黄大年致力于研发深部地球探测所需的多种设备。)”可知，黄大年致力于研发深部地球探测所需的多种设备，助力中国提升了深部地球探测技术。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Over the next seven years, Huang worked to develop many devices needed for deep-Earth exploration.(在之后的七年里，黄大年致力于研发深部地球探测所需的多种设备。)”以及第四段“Due to the frantic(疯狂的)pace of his research, Huang was absent from his father’s funeral, and even his own cancer went undetected as he had no time to see a doctor.(由于科研工作节奏紧张，黄大年未能参加父亲的葬礼，甚至因无暇就医而未能及时发现自己身患癌症。)”可知，黄大年因忙于深部地球探测设备的研发工作，未能参加父亲的葬礼。故选A。 (3)题解析： 词义猜测题。根据划线短语所在语境“Unfortunately, such achievements didn’t come cheap. Due to the frantic(疯狂的)pace of his research, Huang was absent from his father’s funeral, and even his own cancer went undetected as he had no time to see a doctor.(遗憾的是，这样的成就……。由于科研工作节奏紧张，黄大年未能参加父亲的葬礼，甚至因无暇就医而未能及时发现自己身患癌症。)”可知，黄大年的成就伴随着巨大的付出——错过父亲葬礼、延误癌症诊治，这些都体现了成就的取得耗费了大量精力和牺牲。“didn’t come cheap”字面意为“并非廉价得来”，结合语境指“需要付出巨大努力或代价”。故选B。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“If you know anyone who deserves to have their contributions recognized, we would love to hear from you! Let us know how these people have helped to make a difference in your eyes.(如果你认识任何值得被认可其贡献的人，欢迎与我们分享！请告诉我们，在你眼中这些人是如何带来积极影响的。)”以及下文分别介绍地球物理学家黄大年（为科研牺牲个人利益）和长屿岛两位坚守23年的小学老师（扎根偏远地区教书育人）的事迹可知，文章核心是讲述那些默默奉献却未被广泛关注的人及其奉献精神。故选D。 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 （25-26高二上·辽宁沈阳沈阳市郊联体·期中）Our passion for crazy golf started after we played a friendly round with Richard’s brother back in 2006. We traveled from our home in Stockport to visit my family in the seaside town of Felixstowe, and someone suggested a game. Richard managed to get a hole-in-one, which won a game. We started talking about how many crazy golf courses there are in the U.K. We looked it up, and found there were more than 600. We’d just bought our first car and decided it would be fun to try to visit them all as a way to see the country. Now, almost 20 years on, we’ve visited 1,064 crazy golf courses all over the world. Richard holds the Guinness World Record for the most crazy golf courses visited — 902 when it was awarded in 2022, as he’d traveled to a handful more than me. Between us, we’ve visited courses in 12 other countries, including New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and Chile. The European courses are all standardized. They follow one of three patterns and are considerably less “crazy” than the courses in the U.K. On the other hand, the American courses are completely over the top, with dinosaurs and pirate ships decorating almost every one. It didn’t take us long to realize that we could play competitively, and we’ve played individually and together as part of the Great Britain mini golf team in the U.K. and worldwide. I’ve won the women’s World Adventure Golf title twice, and hold the British women’s record — completing an 18-hole course with 12 holes-in-one and six holes in two shots. Lots of players put a huge amount of effort into importing specialist balls and putters, but we try not to take it too seriously. People complain about losing one’s partner to the sport, but crazy golf helps us spend more time together. We’ve never been interested in playing “big golf” — not everyone wants to spend four hours on a green. We’re lucky that we share a hobby, and it brings us together. 1.Why did the author and Richard decide to visit all the crazy golf courses in the U.K.? A. To test their new car. B. To explore new hobbies. C. To see the U.K. in a fun way. D. To establish a Guinness World Record. 2.What aspect of crazy golf does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Its various course designs. B. Its complicated game rules. C. Its global popularity. D. Its historical development. 3.What makes the author different from many other players? A. Winning the honorary title. B. Competing at a national level. C. Buying imported balls. D. Having a relaxed mindset. 4.What does the author try to express in the last paragraph? A. crazy golf is not a serious sport. B. Shared hobbies help couples connect. C. Traditional golf takes too much time. D. Sports offers an escape from real life. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. D　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。讲述了2006年，作者和理查德因一场高尔夫产生兴趣，决定以游览英国所有球场的方式游英。近二十年来，他们打卡全球1064座球场，参与赛事获奖，这项共同爱好也让两人关系更紧密。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“We’d just bought our first car and decided it would be fun to try to visit them all as a way to see the country.(我们刚刚买了第一辆车，并决定尝试开着车去逐一拜访那些地方，以此来更好地了解这个国家)”可知，作者和理查德决定探访英国所有的疯狂高尔夫球场是为了以一种有趣的方式领略英国的风光。故选C。 (2)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Between us, we’ve visited courses in 12 other countries, including New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and Chile. The European courses are all standardized.

We’ve never been interested in playing “big golf” — not everyone wants to spend four hours on a green. We’ re lucky that we share a hobby, and it brings us together.(人们会抱怨因为这项运动而失去了与伴侣相处的时间，但疯狂高尔夫却让我们有更多时间相聚在一起。我们从来都不热衷于“大型高尔夫”运动——并非所有人都愿意在果岭上花费四个小时。我们很幸运能拥有共同的爱好，这让我们更加亲密无间)”可知，作者在最后一段想要表达的是共同的爱好有助于夫妻之间建立联系。故选B。 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·吉林地区普通高中友好学校联合体·期中）By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen had been well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local art center, showcasing his series titled “Dispositions”, which illustrated his own growth during adolescence. Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, an exhibition with judges, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. However, being refused became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University, stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin considered him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world.” There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first show with judges was last spring, and five-year-old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled “Pokemon”. As Nalin is busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. 1.What do we know about Nalin? A. He drew teenagers’ growth in his work. B. He became a working artist when aged 13. C. He was disqualified for a juried exhibition. D. He showed his series at the capital art center. 2.Why did Nalin decide to set up Little EGG Gallery? A. To promote artists by showcasing their works. B. To form the association between different galleries. C. To expand his own business through themed shows. D. To show young artists’ talent by offering them a stage. 3.Which of the following can best describe Nalin’s idea of opening the gallery? A. Unpromising. B. Short-lived. C. Thought-provoking. D. Groundbreaking. 4.What kind of person is Nalin according to the text? A. Helpful and cautious. B. Devoted and creative. C. Humorous and intelligent. D. Knowledgeable and ambitious. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3.

B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了15岁的多伦多青少年纳林•卡马特因为年龄限制而无法参加评审展览而受挫，但这激发了他为更多年轻艺术家提供作品展示机会的决心并且在父母的支持下，他创办了Little EGG Gallery的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“He had already had his first show at a local art center, showcasing his series titled “Dispositions”, which illustrated his own growth during adolescence. (他已经在当地的一家艺术中心举办了第一次展览，展示了他题为《性格》的系列作品，该系列作品展示了他自己在青春期的成长。)”和第二段“Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, an exhibition with judges, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. (然而，他想要的更多——具体来说，是开始在一个评审展览中展示他的作品，在那里，一群艺术专家将在一个竞争性的评审过程中评估和选择作品。就在那时，他遇到了一个障碍，在一份多页申请表的最后一行发现提交作品的最低年龄是18岁。)”可知，纳林•卡马特因为年龄没有达到18岁而没有参加评审展览的资格。故选C。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中的““I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. (“我想，如果我能为更多的年轻艺术家提供机会，那就太棒了，”现年15岁的纳林说。在父母的支持下，纳林于2023年1月租了一个店面，并创办了Little EGG Gallery,现在这家画廊通过向展示的作品收取小额展示费，已经足够盈利来维持生计了。)”可推知，纳林创办Little EGG Gallery是为了给年轻艺术家提供一个展示才华的舞台。故选D。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段“Griffin considered him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world. ”(格里芬认为他是个特别的人：“一个很有想法的年轻艺术家——创造一个展示年轻人天赋的空间。这在艺术界是一个空白。”)”可推知，纳林的想法在艺术界是一个空白，所以是开创性的。故选D。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第二段中的“Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University, stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin considered him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world. ”(开业后不久，安大略艺术与设计大学教授兼艺术家大卫•格里芬走进画廊，见到了纳林。格里芬认为他是个特别的人：“一个很有想法的年轻艺术家——创造一个展示年轻人天赋的空间。这在艺术界是一个空白。””)”可知，纳林•卡马特在13岁时就举办了自己的画展，并且因为无法参加评审展览而创办了Little EGG Gallery，展示年轻艺术家的作品，结合安大略艺术与设计大学教授兼艺术家大卫•格里芬的评价可知，他是一个有创造力和奉献精神的人。故选B。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·辽宁辽西重点高中-11月·期中）Facebook has turned out to be one of the most visited and most popular social media sites in the world. When it comes to talking about Facebook, we cannot stop ourselves from describing its creator, Mark Zuckerberg. His success story and Facebook have inspired many people all over the world in different ways. Mark Zuckerberg was born into a well-educated family and developed an interest in computer programming at an early age. His first computer was a Quantex 486DX, powered by the Intel 486 processor. When Mark was 12 years old, his father introduced him to Atari BASIC Programming. At such a young age, Mark managed to use the program to come up with his own messenger called the ZuckNet. Thanks to his first creation, all the computers in his house were connected to the ones in his father’s dental office. Within that connected system, the computer users were allowed to send messages to each other. Mark Zuckerberg created his billion-dollar social networking site based on a simple concept. He was trying to compare photos of two different people and he invited other people to vote and decide which one was better looking. At Harvard University, with his three classmates, he had come up with the Facebook’s predecessor, Facemash. Mark Zuckerberg finally started to write the code for a new website later known as Facebook in 2004. This new site was equipped with new ideas and more useful features, including a section where users can share their comments. Facebook managed to become popular with many more users at many universities around the country. It only took less than a few months for Mark Zuckerberg to spread his networking site to countless numbers of schools and universities in the United States and Canada. Six years later TIME magazine made him Person of the Year for his social networking site. In 2018, Forbes included Mark in the list of the 400 richest people in the world. 1.What’s Zuckerberg’s first achievement as a programmer? A. A billion-dollar social networking site. B. Atari BASIC Programming. C. Facemash. D. Messenger ZuckNet. 2.What do we know about Facebook? A. Mark wrote the code for it with his classmates B. Mark first managed to spread it among IT business. C. It is directly based on ZuckNet. D. It has helped Mark rank among top billionaires around the world. 3.When did TIME magazine feature Mark Zuckerberg on its cover? A. In 2004 B. In 2015 C. In 2014 D. In 2010 4.Which of the following have contributed to Zucketherg’ success? ①support of his family ②Gift for computer programming ③Popularity at university ④Teamwork A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ①②④ D. ②③④ 【答案】1. D　2. D　3. D　4. C 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了Facebook的创始人扎克伯格的成长经历和Facebook的发展历程。。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“At such a young age, Mark managed to use the program to come up with his own messenger called the ZuckNet.( 在这么小的年纪，马克成功地利用这个程序想出了他自己的信使，叫做ZuckNet。)”可知，扎克伯格作为程序员的首个成就是开发了名为ZuckNet 的通讯工具。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In 2018, Forbes included Mark in the list of the 400 richest people in the world.( 2018年，《福布斯》将马克列入全球最富有的400人之列。)”，结合前文 Facebook 是他的亿元社交平台，可推断Facebook助力他跻身全球顶级富豪行列。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Mark Zuckerberg finally started to write the code for a new website later known as Facebook in 2004.( 2004年，马克·扎克伯格终于开始为一个后来被称为Facebook的新网站编写代码。)”和第四段中“Six years later TIME magazine made him Person of the Year for his social networking site.( 六年后，《时代》杂志因他的社交网站将他评选为年度人物。)”可知，2004年加6年即2010 年，《时代》杂志何时将马克·扎克伯格作为封面人物。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When Mark was 12 years old, his father introduced him to Atari BASIC Programming.( 当马克12岁的时候，他的父亲向他介绍了Atari BASIC编程。)”提到父亲介绍他接触编程，提供了基础，所以①家庭支持是其成功因素；以及第二段中“At such a young age, Mark managed to use the program to come up with his own messenger called the ZuckNet. Thanks to his first creation, all the computers in his house were connected to the ones in his father’s deatal office.( 在这么小的年纪，马克成功地利用这个程序想出了他自己的信使，叫做ZuckNet。多亏了他的第一个发明，他家里所有的电脑都和他父亲牙科诊所的电脑相连了。)”提到从小能开发 ZuckNet，后来创建 Facebook，体现天赋，所以②编程天赋是其成功因素；和第三段中“At Harvard University, with his three classmates, he had come up with the Facebook’s predecessor, Facemash.( 在哈佛大学，他和他的三个同学一起开发了Facebook的前身Facemash。)”提到团队协作，所以④团队合作是其成功因素。③大学受欢迎无原文依据，故 C（①②④）正确。故选C项。 Passage 3 （25-26高二上·辽宁辽南协作体·期中）I used to hate old books. When I say “old books”, I don’t mean classics, though. I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort. One can assume that I didn’t own many old books. I had merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me, but nothing too special. In the fourth grade,I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents’ old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However, I eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read my parents’ copies. And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books. When it was time for me to read the final copy, I was kind of a changed woman. I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much that I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like. By the end, I had devoted the entire Harry Potter bookshelf in my room. Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the book, you can understand what it’s about anyway. After all, an old book is a representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me now. 1.What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She had a bad relationship with her parents. B. She felt uneasy about possessing worn-out books. C. She developed a taste for reading classic literature. D. Her parents frequently handed her old books as gifts. 2.How did the author react upon seeing her parents’ Harry Potter set in fourth grade? A. Puzzled. B. Frightened. C. Surprised. D. Discouraged. 3.What does the author mean by saying “I was kind of a changed woman” in paragraph 3? A. She agreed to shelve worn-out books. B. She discovered her true reading preferences. C. She began to take pleasure in fictional stories. D. She started to ignore the books’ outward condition. 4.What is the best title of the text? A. My Journey with Old Books B. My Passion for Reading C. My Meeting with the Harry Potter Series D. My Connection with Parents via Old Books 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. D　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述作者个人对旧书态度的转变过程，展现了作者从厌恶旧书到爱上旧书的心理变化，以及这一变化背后的原因和感受。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort.(我指的是那些书页泛黄、书脊破损、散发着奇怪木质气味的书，你得小心翻阅，以免它们因为太过破旧而给你带来严重的不适感。)”以及第二段“Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books.(从外观上看，父母的这些书简直就是我的噩梦。我记得自己当时心想，我绝不可能读这些书。)”可知，作者对于阅读旧书这件事心里是很不舒服、很不情愿的。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In the fourth grade,I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents’ old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However, I eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read my parents’ copies. And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books.(在四年级的时候，我准备去探索一个全新的阅读世界，一个超越儿童章节读物和青少年主题读物的世界。就在那时，我发现了父母收藏的一整套旧版《哈利・波特》系列书籍。从外观上看，父母的这些书简直就是我的噩梦。我记得当时心里想，我根本没法读这些书。)”可知，作者看到父母的《哈利・波特》系列旧书时，是很消极、很气馁的，觉得自己没办法去读它们。故选D。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段“I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much that I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like.(我依然很不喜欢旧书，但是整个《哈利・波特》系列的情节太吸引我了，以至于我几乎完全忘记了这些书的模样。)”可知，作者虽然内心还是不喜欢旧书的外在样子，但已经开始更关注书的内容，也就是作者此时已经开始忽略书籍的外在状况。故选D。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇讲述自己曾经讨厌旧书，接着描述四年级时因想读《哈利・波特》系列不得不去读父母的旧版书这一经历，过程中自己对旧书的态度逐渐发生变化，最后表示现在已经爱上旧书了，整体是围绕自己与旧书之间态度变化的这一历程展开叙述的。选项A“My Journey With Old Books（我与旧书的历程）”能够很好地概括文章从讨厌旧书到因读《哈利・波特》系列旧书而慢慢改变态度，最后爱上旧书的整个过程，符合文章主旨。故选A。 主题语境04 人与自然-环境 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·吉林吉林市·期中）Two pig farmers in Suffolk, East England have succeeded in feeding one million bees after participating in a project that saw them turn over half of their land to wildflowers. Four years ago, brothers Mark and Paul Hayward decided to fill 81 acres of their farm land with wildflowers. This week, a study was carried out monitoring insect activity on the flower-covered land, which found they were feeding one million bees at any time. “This was our target when we started, to grow enough flowers to feed a million bees on a single day.” Mark said. “We are acutely aware that bees are under threat from modern farming methods and that East England is one of the worst places where bees are seriously suffering from lack of foraging (觅食) diversity,” he continued. “Every third bite of food you eat can come from bees and we wanted to create an operation on our farm that did not push nature out but rather hugged it — as a central part of our ecology system and our food cycle,” he said. The farm uses all kinds of seeds which can produce many different wild plants and of course, the bees can get food from different wildflowers. “We are taking a very small role in helping society restore a balance and this starts with plant diversity to encourage insects, bees, small mammals (哺乳动物), and birds,” said Paul. “At the end of the day, we see ourselves as caretakers of this land. Between us we have six children and we owe it to them to farm sustainability (持续性) and set an example for the generations to come,” added Paul. According to the Bee Conservation Trust, many types of bees have seen their populations decline by 70%, and two species have become extinct in the last century. Gill Perkins, CEO of the Bee Conservation Trust said, “Thanks to Mark and Paul, at least here, 1 million bees can keep living — a beacon (灯塔) of hope demonstrating what’s possible, which is of great significance for humans now and future.” 1.What can we know about the brothers from the first paragraph? A. They have about 160 acres of land. B. They grow wild flowers for pigs. C. They are not good at growing wild flowers. D. They have to support 1,000,000 bees on their land. 2.Why are bees under threat in East England according to Mark? A. They are affected by climate change. B. There are not enough wildflower varieties for food. C. Modern farming methods use too many pesticides. D. They are hunted by other animals. 3.What does Paul mean by saying “we see ourselves as caretakers of this land”? A. They feel responsible for protecting the land sustainably. B. They are paid to take care of the land by the government. C. They want to pass the land to their children as inheritance. D. They believe caring for the land is their job as farmers. 4.What does Gill Perkins think of the brothers’ action? A. It has little impact on bee conservation. B. It’s a significant contribution to the world. C. It should be criticized for being too small-scale. D. It is only beneficial for the brothers’ farm. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了两位农民兄弟将一半的土地种上野花，为蜜蜂提供了食物来源，保护了蜜蜂的生存环境，为生态保护做出了贡献。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“Two pig farmers in Suffolk, East England have succeeded in feeding one million bees after participating in a project that saw them turn over half of their land to wildflowers. (英国东部萨福克郡的两位养猪户参与了一个项目——将自家一半土地改造为野花地，如今他们已成功为一百万只蜜蜂提供了食物。)”和“Four years ago, brothers Mark and Paul Hayward decided to fill 81 acres of their farm land with wildflowers. (四年前，马克和保罗·海沃德兄弟决定在他们的81英亩农田里种满野花。)”可知，兄弟俩共有81×2=162英亩土地，大约160英亩。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“We are acutely aware that bees are under threat from modern farming methods and that East England is one of the worst places where bees are seriously suffering from lack of foraging diversity. (我们敏锐地意识到，蜜蜂正受到现代农业方法的威胁，而东英格兰是蜜蜂因觅食多样性严重缺乏而遭受严重影响的地区之一。)”可知，东英格兰的蜜蜂受到威胁是因为没有足够的野花品种作为食物。故选B。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第五段“Between us we have six children and we owe it to them to farm sustainability (持续性) and set an example for the generations to come. (我们俩共有六个孩子，为他们坚持可持续耕种，并为后代树立榜样，这是我们应尽的责任。)”可知，“caretakers”（守护者）的含义，结合“为孩子实现可持续耕作、为后代树立榜样”的表述，由此可知，we see ourselves as caretakers of this land意为“对土地承担可持续保护的责任”。故选A。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Thanks to Mark and Paul, at least here, 1 million bees can keep living — a beacon (灯塔) of hope demonstrating what’s possible, which is of great significance for humans now and future. (多亏了马克和保罗，至少在这里，100万只蜜蜂可以继续生存——这是一个希望的灯塔，展示了什么是可能的，这对现在和未来的人类都具有重大意义。)”可知，吉尔·珀金斯认为兄弟俩的行动是对世界的重大贡献。故选B。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·内蒙古自治区赤峰市多校·期中）Last summer, a group of students from Oregon State University participated in a “mini bee school” course at the Dufferin Park Wetlands in Kamloops, British Columbia (BC). During the course, they got along well with bee-loving locals. Under the guidance of professional entomologists (昆虫学者) like Boonie Zand, the students took a two-day workshop on catching, observing, and cataloging bees. In the end, the students walked away as trained contributors for a new “bee atlas (地图册)” for the Native Bee Society of BC — the first bee record of its kind in the Canadian province. Modelled after the Oregon Bee Atlas, the record was designed to aid conservation efforts by training locals to identify bee species — and help classify new ones. Months later, the growing bee atlas has proved very fruitful. So far, BC Bee Atlas volunteers have collected over 2,400 samples in the province and recorded 110 different species. They even discovered several new specimens of Perdita, or “fairy bees” — unique little bees that are less than two millimeters long. And Zand thinks the new bees present an exciting mystery. “In 2018 a species checklist was published for BC, and it has two species of Perdita on it,” Zand explained. “We collected a few specimens of Perdita that does not occur on that list, and so it’s not one of the two species that we know here, so I’m still trying to figure out exactly what species it is.” Zand said Kamloops, Canada is an ideal place of bee diversity because bees love the region’s hot, dry climate. “You’re going to have a lot more species that you might find there than in other places, like on the coast or further up in the north,” she said, in reference to the atlas’ growing catalog. “So it’s a great spot to find new records, which help us learn more about the bee diversity of BC.” 1.Why did the students participate in the bee school? A. To learn to raise bees. B. To acquire credits. C. To help conserve a species. D. To observe insect behaviors. 2.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The characteristics of fairy bees. B. The success of the bee atlas initiative. C. The decline of local bee populations. D. The establishment of the bee atlas project. 3.How did Zand feel at the finding of the fairy bees? A. Curious. B. Awkward. C. Confused. D. Calm. 4.What makes Kamloops an ideal habitat for bees according to Zand? A. Global warming. B. Rich plant variety. C. Human protection efforts. D. Geographic conditions. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. A　4.

Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification. “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals. In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action, “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.” By September 2016, more than 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2028, In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco. 1.What fired Sarah Toumi’s passion to help others? A. Her experience in fighting against desertification. B. Her childhood living with her family in France. C. Her strong desire to become a leader to better the world. D. Her holiday trips to her father’s birthplace in Tunisia. 2.What is the main cause of desertification in Tunisia? A. The rising amount of rainfall. B. The severe shortage of water. C. The change of farming practices. D. The breakdown of rich farmers. 3.How did Sarah Toumi contribute to addressing desertification? A. By spreading the application of natural products and chemical fertilizers. B. By encouraging the farmers to plant traditional crops. C. By relocating the young from areas with no access to water to urban centres. D. By promoting sustainable farming practices and initiating tree-planting programme, 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce Sarah Toumi’s efforts to hold back the Sahara.

The room was decorated with an under-the-sea theme. Kennedy comes to this memory cafe twice a month since being diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s disease. Everyone here has a degree of memory loss or is a caregiver for someone with memory loss. Attendees colored on worksheets with an underwater theme. They drank coffee and had desserts. And a quick round of questions and answers gets everyone’s minds working. “We start out just like that, many of us cannot answer any of the questions,” Kennedy said with a laugh. “We all have a good time going around,” he added. “You know, we all try to make it fun.” This memory cafe in Pennsylvania is one of 600 across the country. These gatherings for people with cognitive impairment (认知缺陷) and their caregivers are relatively cheap and easy to run — often the only expense is a small rental fee for the space. The memory cafes happen twice a month. They have given him purpose, Kennedy said, and help him cope with negative emotions around his diagnosis. “I came in and I was miserable,” Kennedy said. “I come in now and it’s like a family, an extended family. I get to meet them. I get to meet their partners. I get to meet their children. So, it’s really nice.” More than six million people in the U. S. have been diagnosed with some form of dementia (痴呆). The diagnosis can be burdensome on relationships, particularly with family members who are the primary caregivers. The inclusion of caregivers is what distinguishes memory cafes from other programs that serve people with cognitive impairment, like adult day care. Memory cafes don’t offer formal treatment or support. At a memory cafe, having fun together and being social is the support for both patients and their caregivers. 1.What is the atmosphere in the memory cafe like? A. Academic. B. Religious. C. Relaxing. D. Mysterious. 2.What can we learn about the memory cafe? A. It is affordable. B. It occupies a large space. C. It is equipped with doctors. D.

Every January 1st, I would set ambitious goals like losing 50 pounds, running a marathon, or becoming the perfect parent who never got angry. Yet, I never accomplished them. By February or March, my willpower faded, and I fell back into old habits. Every winter, I’d feel guilty and ashamed, looking back at all of the amazing things I didn’t do. Everything changed when I was diagnosed (诊断) with two different cancers — breast and appendix cancer — almost at the same time. The following year was incredibly difficult, but it reshaped my perspective entirely. What I once considered “success” shifted: simply being alive with my family felt like a success. That’s when I decided I was done with New Year’s resolutions. I realized that you don’t need January 1st to start over — every day offers a chance for a fresh beginning. You can make the day you decide to be a better person a special day, regardless of what the calendar says. My old approach of dreaming big without practical steps set me up for failure. Now, I take the opposite approach: I focus on small, manageable goals. Instead of aiming for a marathon, I run 20 minutes, three days a week, at whatever pace I like. Every time I check one of my mini goals off my list, I feel proud and a sense of accomplishment. It’s a great feeling, and I don’t have to wait until the end of the year to experience it! Nearly losing my life taught me its preciousness. I no longer want to waste a minute on guilt. Cancer gave me a sense of purpose and motivated me to find a better way to feel successful. I haven’t given up on becoming a better person. But I’ve learned that there are much better ways to improve and grow than through New Year’s resolutions. 1.What was the author like before her cancer diagnosis? A. She had a gentle character. B. She achieved personal goals. C. She showed no interest in sports. D. She couldn’t maintain motivation. 2.What does the underlined word “perspective” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Personality. B. Hobby. C. Status. D. Viewpoint. 3.What kind of changes did cancers bring to the author? A. She became an ideal parent. B. She valued highly her time. C. She went on running marathon. D. She relied on detailed schedules. 4.Why does the author write this text? A. To teach us to set small goals. B. To persuade us to care for health. C. To tell us to get rid of bad habits. D. To remind us to accompany family. 【答案】1. D　2. D　3. B　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者过去热衷于制定新年计划却从未实现，在几乎同时被诊断出两种癌症后，作者改变了对成功的看法，放弃了新年计划，转而采取设定小而可行的目标、每天重新开始的方法来提升自我和成长。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Yet, I never accomplished them. By February or March, my willpower faded, and I fell back into old habits. (然而，我从未完成它们。到了二月或三月，我的意志力慢慢消退，我又重拾旧习惯。)”可知，作者在确诊癌症前很难坚持完成既定目标，缺乏动力。故选D。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“What I once considered “success” shifted: simply being alive with my family felt like a success. (我曾经认为的“成功”改变了：仅仅是和家人生活在一起就感觉成功了。)”可知，作者对“成功”的看法发生了改变，因此“perspective”此处意为“观点，看法”，和viewpoint意思相近。故选D。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Nearly losing my life taught me its preciousness. I no longer want to waste a minute on guilt. (险些丧命让我明白了生命的可贵。我再也不想在自责中浪费一分一秒了。)”可知，癌症让作者更加珍惜时间。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，特别是第三段中“My old approach of dreaming big without practical steps set me up for failure. Now, I take the opposite approach: I focus on small, manageable goals.

I had always lived in the city, and the idea of spending two months in a place where life moved at a slower pace was both exciting and intimidating (不安的). Little did I know, this experience would change my perspective on life and help me grow in ways I never expected. The community center served as a hub (中心) for local activities, offering after-school programs for children, English classes for adults, and support for elderly residents. My main role was to assist with the children’s programs. Every morning, I helped organize games, art projects, and reading sessions. At first, I managed to connect with the kids. Many of them were shy, and I felt unsure of how to engage them. But over time, I learned to be patient and creative. I started using storytelling and hands-on activities to capture their attention, and soon, the classroom was filled with laughter and enthusiasm. One of the most memorable moments was when a young girl named Lily, who had barely spoken a word during the first week, finally opened up. She shared her dream of becoming a teacher and even helped me lead a reading session. Seeing her confidence grow was incredibly rewarding and reminded me of the impact small actions can have. By the end of the summer, I had not only developed new skills but also gained a deeper understanding of myself. I learned to adapt to unfamiliar situations, communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds, and appreciate the simple joys of life.

Passage 2 （25-26高二上·辽宁营口普通高中-11月·期中）Living in Hanau, Germany, 67-year-old Rita Ebel, who uses a wheelchair for most of her mobility, discovered that many local businesses were not accessible after her accident. The common response from shop owners was that she could simply knock on the door for assistance. However, Rita knew that for someone like her, who values independence, this was not a practical solution. Taking initiative, Rita decided to create her own wheelchair ramps (坡道), but with a creative twist. Instead of traditional materials, she began constructing ramps using colorful toy bricks. However, as she started her project, she quickly realized that acquiring enough bricks was a challenge in itself. Many people hold onto their brick collections with fondness. Furthermore, she found that most available sets were not suited for her ram p designs. In a moment of helplessness, she reached out on social media for assistance. To her delight, the response was overwhelming. “My first donor asked how many pieces of bricks I would need to finish my very first ramp,” she shared. After estimating that she might need around 1,000 pieces, she was thrilled when he arrived with two large boxes of toy bricks. Since embarking on this heartwarming effort in 2019, Rita has built numerous ramps, earning her the lovely title of “Brick Oma”, or “Brick Grandma”. Her colorful creations have transformed shops across Hanau, including sweet shops and grocery stores, making them more accessible, one brick at a time. The colorful ramps also serve as a helpful visual cue for those with low vision, signaling an incline (倾斜) ahead. Building a ram p typically takes Rita just three to four hours, and as donations continue to pour in, she is grateful for the support. Her landlord even provided her with extra space to store the growing brick collection. Rita Ebel’s journey is a beautiful reminder of the power of community, creativity, and the firm spirit to uplift others. Through her colorful brick ramps, she is not only paving the way for greater accessibility but also spreading happiness and hope throughout her beloved Hanau. 1.What does Rita lay emphasis on? A. Comfort. B. Assistance. C. Independence. D. Adaptation. 2.What initially prevented Rita building her ramps? A. Lack of building materials. B. Trouble in technical knowledge. C.

But before I could finish my sentence, Mum cut me off. “There will be no high school,” she said. “We don’t have money for uniforms or school shoes or books.” It was 1963. I was 12 and had spent the whole of primary school not wearing any shoes, but I dreamed of being a teacher. My family was very poor, and my three older siblings (兄弟姐妹) hadn’t gone on to high school. Two of them had started work, and my older sister stayed home to help mum look after the younger kids. Two weeks before I turned 13, I started cutting threads (线) off shirts in a clothing factory where I met George, and later we married. In time, we had our three kids, Darcy, Georgia, and Kelly. George found work on cattle stations, so we moved to the outback in Western Queensland. I taught our three kids during their primary school years, and that scratched my teaching itch a little, but the desire to study more never left me. “When we retire, I want to go to university,” I told George. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. After 40 years in the outback, we retired in 2015, and I seized my chance. At the age of 66, I enrolled (登记) in a programme with the University of the Sunshine Coast called the Tertiary Preparation Pathway, which helped mature students prepare for university. Next, I enrolled in a BA majoring in English. Walking onto campus that first day in February 2017, it was clear I was the oldest student there, but that didn’t put me off in the slightest. My biggest challenge wasn’t the coursework; it was the technology. My grandchildren constantly sent me encouraging messages saying, “We’re so proud of you, granny,” or asking how I was doing. At last, I passed all my subjects with flying colours, and when I was invited to graduate, I cried. I couldn’t believe I’d done it. Wearing my black robe and hat, I marched into one of Johnny Farnham’s famous songs. I’ll never forget that feeling, waiting in the wings backstage for the Dean to call my name. “This is a wonderful achievement,” he told me as he handed me my degree. I couldn’t agree more. 1.Why couldn’t the author go to high school? A. Because her family was poor. B. Because her siblings prevented her. C. Because she was not good at reading. D.

A BA majoring in a foreign language. D. A course about designing clothes. 3.What is the author’s grandchildren’s attitude towards her attending university? A. Hesitant. B. Favourable. C. Objective. D. Worried. 4.What can we learn from the text? A. A good start is half the success. B. We gain the skills to solve real-world problems through education. C.

We should keep up with our dream and try to make it one day. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·黑龙江龙东十校联盟·期中）The moment is recorded in sports history, not as a triumph, but as a seeming defeat. In 1978, a young Michael Jordan, passionate and full of dreams, tried out for the college basketball team at Laney High School. However, he was cut from the team for his lack of height and skill. For Jordan, this wasn’t just a rejection; it was a challenge. Instead of giving in to disappointment, he transformed it into an extraordinary drive. This early failure became the fuel for his legendary work ethic. He adopted a mindset of continuous forward progress, a perfect example of “onwards and upwards.” He began waking up before dawn to practice. He would spend hours alone on the court, honing his shooting, his dribbling, and his defensive moves. His competitive fire burned constantly; he turned every minor setback into a reason to improve. His journey was anything but smooth. After rising to stardom at the University of North Carolina and being drafted by the Chicago Bulls, Jordan faced tough opponents like the Detroit Pistons, who repeatedly knocked his team out of the playoffs (季后赛) with their physical “Jordan Rules.” Yet, each defeat only hardened his resolve. The ultimate proof of his strong spirit came after he finally led the Bulls to their first NBA championship in 1991. This victory was not the end of his story. He went onwards, leading the Bulls to two more consecutive titles, achieving a historic “three-peat.” Then, following the tragic murder of his father, he shocked the world by retiring from basketball to pursue baseball — a new difficult challenge that showcased his courage to start again from the bottom. But the basketball court called him back. In 1995, he returned to the Bulls with the simple message, “I’m back.” He led the team to a second, even more difficult “three-peat” from 1996 to 1998, solidifying his legacy as the greatest. Michael Jordan’s story teaches us that it is the courage to face setbacks, the discipline to keep improving, and the spirit to always move forward that truly defines a champion. 1.What was Jordan’s immediate reaction after being cut from the high school team? A. He decided to quit basketball forever. B. He accepted the reason for his rejection. C. He saw it as a challenge and became more determined. D. He blamed his teammates for the failure. 2.Why did Jordan shock the world by retiring from basketball in 1993? A. He wanted to prove he was the greatest player without winning more titles. B. He lost his passion for basketball after winning his first championship. C. He sought a new challenge as a way of dealing with a personal tragedy. D. He had a serious injury that prevented him from playing at a high level. 3.What can be inferred about Jordan’s character from his training habits? A. He relied mostly on his natural talent. B. He believed success came from nonstop hard work. C. He preferred to practice alone rather than with the team. D. He was often discouraged by minor setbacks. 4.What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To list all the awards Michael Jordan won in his career. B. To describe the history of the Chicago Bulls basketball team. C. To show how Jordan overcame setbacks with a never-give-up spirit. D. To compare Jordan’s career with other basketball players. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·内蒙古乌兰察布·期中）(Zhang Keyu, Hubei)Everyone knows the people who have helped to change the face of the world in recent years. From Bill Gates to Steve Jobs to Jack Ma, few would not recognize their names. However, those who work tirelessly behind the scenes often go unnoticed, in spite of their great achievements. If you know anyone who deserves to have their contributions recognized, we would love to hear from you! Let us know how these people have helped to make a difference in your eyes. The person I respect most is the geophysicist Huang Danian, who helped China to make many technological advances. Huang was a remarkable scientist. He had studied and worked in Britain for 18 years, but when he felt that his country needed him, he gave up his well-paid job and returned to China. Over the next seven years, Huang worked to develop many devices needed for deep-Earth exploration. Unfortunately, such achievements didn’t come cheap. Due to the frantic(疯狂的)pace of his research, Huang was absent from his father’s funeral, and even his own cancer went undetected as he had no time to see a doctor. To sum up, Huang sacrificed everything for his research, and I think more people should honour him. (Chen Xueyin, Fujian)I want to tell everyone about two teachers on Changyu Island, Wang Kaiquan and Lin Zhujin. Few people know about this hometown of mine. The island is beautiful, but it’s quite isolated, and there aren’t many modern conveniences. In bad weather, even our water and power supplies are unstable. People who have never been to our island are often surprised by this and find it hard to adjust. Many who live on the island dream of leaving. These two primary school teachers, however, have stayed on for 23 long years! They are the only teachers here, and they plan to stay for as long as there are children who need to attend school. I want to thank them, and let the world know about these teachers who work tirelessly every day for the sake of the children. 1.What contribution did Huang make to China? A. Helped improve deep-Earth exploration technology B. Built stable water and power supplies on an island C. Trained primary school teachers for 23 years D. Founded a well-paid tech company overseas 2.Why did Huang skip his father’s funeral? A. He was occupied with deep-Earth device R&D. B. He was receiving cancer treatment. C. He couldn’t travel back from Britain. D. He had to teach local children. 3.What do the underlined words “didn’t come cheap” mean in paragraph 4? A. Required no hard work B. Cost much(effort or loss) C. Were not costly in money D. took little time to achieve 4.What is the text mainly about? A. Well-known global business leaders B. Achievements in China’s technology and education C. Challenges of living on a remote island D. Unrecognized people with great devotion 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 （25-26高二上·辽宁沈阳沈阳市郊联体·期中）Our passion for crazy golf started after we played a friendly round with Richard’s brother back in 2006. We traveled from our home in Stockport to visit my family in the seaside town of Felixstowe, and someone suggested a game. Richard managed to get a hole-in-one, which won a game. We started talking about how many crazy golf courses there are in the U.K. We looked it up, and found there were more than 600. We’d just bought our first car and decided it would be fun to try to visit them all as a way to see the country. Now, almost 20 years on, we’ve visited 1,064 crazy golf courses all over the world. Richard holds the Guinness World Record for the most crazy golf courses visited — 902 when it was awarded in 2022, as he’d traveled to a handful more than me. Between us, we’ve visited courses in 12 other countries, including New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and Chile. The European courses are all standardized. They follow one of three patterns and are considerably less “crazy” than the courses in the U.K. On the other hand, the American courses are completely over the top, with dinosaurs and pirate ships decorating almost every one. It didn’t take us long to realize that we could play competitively, and we’ve played individually and together as part of the Great Britain mini golf team in the U.K. and worldwide. I’ve won the women’s World Adventure Golf title twice, and hold the British women’s record — completing an 18-hole course with 12 holes-in-one and six holes in two shots. Lots of players put a huge amount of effort into importing specialist balls and putters, but we try not to take it too seriously. People complain about losing one’s partner to the sport, but crazy golf helps us spend more time together. We’ve never been interested in playing “big golf” — not everyone wants to spend four hours on a green. We’re lucky that we share a hobby, and it brings us together. 1.Why did the author and Richard decide to visit all the crazy golf courses in the U.K.? A. To test their new car. B. To explore new hobbies. C. To see the U.K. in a fun way. D. To establish a Guinness World Record. 2.What aspect of crazy golf does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Its various course designs. B. Its complicated game rules. C. Its global popularity. D. Its historical development. 3.What makes the author different from many other players? A. Winning the honorary title. B. Competing at a national level. C. Buying imported balls. D. Having a relaxed mindset. 4.What does the author try to express in the last paragraph? A. crazy golf is not a serious sport. B. Shared hobbies help couples connect. C. Traditional golf takes too much time. D. Sports offers an escape from real life. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·吉林地区普通高中友好学校联合体·期中）By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen had been well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local art center, showcasing his series titled “Dispositions”, which illustrated his own growth during adolescence. Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, an exhibition with judges, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. However, being refused became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University, stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin considered him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world.” There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first show with judges was last spring, and five-year-old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled “Pokemon”. As Nalin is busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. 1.What do we know about Nalin? A. He drew teenagers’ growth in his work. B. He became a working artist when aged 13. C. He was disqualified for a juried exhibition. D. He showed his series at the capital art center. 2.Why did Nalin decide to set up Little EGG Gallery? A. To promote artists by showcasing their works. B. To form the association between different galleries. C. To expand his own business through themed shows. D. To show young artists’ talent by offering them a stage. 3.Which of the following can best describe Nalin’s idea of opening the gallery? A. Unpromising. B. Short-lived. C. Thought-provoking. D. Groundbreaking. 4.What kind of person is Nalin according to the text? A. Helpful and cautious. B. Devoted and creative. C. Humorous and intelligent. D. Knowledgeable and ambitious. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·辽宁辽西重点高中-11月·期中）Facebook has turned out to be one of the most visited and most popular social media sites in the world. When it comes to talking about Facebook, we cannot stop ourselves from describing its creator, Mark Zuckerberg. His success story and Facebook have inspired many people all over the world in different ways. Mark Zuckerberg was born into a well-educated family and developed an interest in computer programming at an early age. His first computer was a Quantex 486DX, powered by the Intel 486 processor. When Mark was 12 years old, his father introduced him to Atari BASIC Programming. At such a young age, Mark managed to use the program to come up with his own messenger called the ZuckNet. Thanks to his first creation, all the computers in his house were connected to the ones in his father’s dental office. Within that connected system, the computer users were allowed to send messages to each other. Mark Zuckerberg created his billion-dollar social networking site based on a simple concept. He was trying to compare photos of two different people and he invited other people to vote and decide which one was better looking. At Harvard University, with his three classmates, he had come up with the Facebook’s predecessor, Facemash. Mark Zuckerberg finally started to write the code for a new website later known as Facebook in 2004. This new site was equipped with new ideas and more useful features, including a section where users can share their comments. Facebook managed to become popular with many more users at many universities around the country. It only took less than a few months for Mark Zuckerberg to spread his networking site to countless numbers of schools and universities in the United States and Canada. Six years later TIME magazine made him Person of the Year for his social networking site. In 2018, Forbes included Mark in the list of the 400 richest people in the world. 1.What’s Zuckerberg’s first achievement as a programmer? A. A billion-dollar social networking site. B. Atari BASIC Programming. C. Facemash. D. Messenger ZuckNet. 2.What do we know about Facebook? A. Mark wrote the code for it with his classmates B. Mark first managed to spread it among IT business. C. It is directly based on ZuckNet. D. It has helped Mark rank among top billionaires around the world. 3.When did TIME magazine feature Mark Zuckerberg on its cover? A. In 2004 B. In 2015 C. In 2014 D. In 2010 4.Which of the following have contributed to Zucketherg’ success? ①support of his family ②Gift for computer programming ③Popularity at university ④Teamwork A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ①②④ D. ②③④ Passage 3 （25-26高二上·辽宁辽南协作体·期中）I used to hate old books. When I say “old books”, I don’t mean classics, though. I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort. One can assume that I didn’t own many old books. I had merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me, but nothing too special. In the fourth grade,I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents’ old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However, I eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read my parents’ copies. And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books. When it was time for me to read the final copy, I was kind of a changed woman. I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much that I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like. By the end, I had devoted the entire Harry Potter bookshelf in my room. Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the book, you can understand what it’s about anyway. After all, an old book is a representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me now. 1.What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She had a bad relationship with her parents. B. She felt uneasy about possessing worn-out books. C. She developed a taste for reading classic literature. D. Her parents frequently handed her old books as gifts. 2.How did the author react upon seeing her parents’ Harry Potter set in fourth grade? A. Puzzled. B. Frightened. C. Surprised. D. Discouraged. 3.What does the author mean by saying “I was kind of a changed woman” in paragraph 3? A. She agreed to shelve worn-out books. B. She discovered her true reading preferences. C. She began to take pleasure in fictional stories. D. She started to ignore the books’ outward condition. 4.What is the best title of the text? A. My Journey with Old Books B. My Passion for Reading C. My Meeting with the Harry Potter Series D. My Connection with Parents via Old Books 主题语境04 人与自然-环境 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·吉林吉林市·期中）Two pig farmers in Suffolk, East England have succeeded in feeding one million bees after participating in a project that saw them turn over half of their land to wildflowers. Four years ago, brothers Mark and Paul Hayward decided to fill 81 acres of their farm land with wildflowers. This week, a study was carried out monitoring insect activity on the flower-covered land, which found they were feeding one million bees at any time. “This was our target when we started, to grow enough flowers to feed a million bees on a single day.” Mark said. “We are acutely aware that bees are under threat from modern farming methods and that East England is one of the worst places where bees are seriously suffering from lack of foraging (觅食) diversity,” he continued. “Every third bite of food you eat can come from bees and we wanted to create an operation on our farm that did not push nature out but rather hugged it — as a central part of our ecology system and our food cycle,” he said. The farm uses all kinds of seeds which can produce many different wild plants and of course, the bees can get food from different wildflowers. “We are taking a very small role in helping society restore a balance and this starts with plant diversity to encourage insects, bees, small mammals (哺乳动物), and birds,” said Paul. “At the end of the day, we see ourselves as caretakers of this land. Between us we have six children and we owe it to them to farm sustainability (持续性) and set an example for the generations to come,” added Paul. According to the Bee Conservation Trust, many types of bees have seen their populations decline by 70%, and two species have become extinct in the last century. Gill Perkins, CEO of the Bee Conservation Trust said, “Thanks to Mark and Paul, at least here, 1 million bees can keep living — a beacon (灯塔) of hope demonstrating what’s possible, which is of great significance for humans now and future.” 1.What can we know about the brothers from the first paragraph? A. They have about 160 acres of land. B. They grow wild flowers for pigs. C. They are not good at growing wild flowers. D. They have to support 1,000,000 bees on their land. 2.Why are bees under threat in East England according to Mark? A. They are affected by climate change. B. There are not enough wildflower varieties for food. C. Modern farming methods use too many pesticides. D. They are hunted by other animals. 3.What does Paul mean by saying “we see ourselves as caretakers of this land”? A. They feel responsible for protecting the land sustainably. B. They are paid to take care of the land by the government. C. They want to pass the land to their children as inheritance. D. They believe caring for the land is their job as farmers. 4.What does Gill Perkins think of the brothers’ action? A. It has little impact on bee conservation. B. It’s a significant contribution to the world. C. It should be criticized for being too small-scale. D. It is only beneficial for the brothers’ farm. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·内蒙古自治区赤峰市多校·期中）Last summer, a group of students from Oregon State University participated in a “mini bee school” course at the Dufferin Park Wetlands in Kamloops, British Columbia (BC). During the course, they got along well with bee-loving locals. Under the guidance of professional entomologists (昆虫学者) like Boonie Zand, the students took a two-day workshop on catching, observing, and cataloging bees. In the end, the students walked away as trained contributors for a new “bee atlas (地图册)” for the Native Bee Society of BC — the first bee record of its kind in the Canadian province. Modelled after the Oregon Bee Atlas, the record was designed to aid conservation efforts by training locals to identify bee species — and help classify new ones. Months later, the growing bee atlas has proved very fruitful. So far, BC Bee Atlas volunteers have collected over 2,400 samples in the province and recorded 110 different species. They even discovered several new specimens of Perdita, or “fairy bees” — unique little bees that are less than two millimeters long. And Zand thinks the new bees present an exciting mystery. “In 2018 a species checklist was published for BC, and it has two species of Perdita on it,” Zand explained. “We collected a few specimens of Perdita that does not occur on that list, and so it’s not one of the two species that we know here, so I’m still trying to figure out exactly what species it is.” Zand said Kamloops, Canada is an ideal place of bee diversity because bees love the region’s hot, dry climate. “You’re going to have a lot more species that you might find there than in other places, like on the coast or further up in the north,” she said, in reference to the atlas’ growing catalog. “So it’s a great spot to find new records, which help us learn more about the bee diversity of BC.” 1.Why did the students participate in the bee school? A. To learn to raise bees. B. To acquire credits. C. To help conserve a species. D. To observe insect behaviors. 2.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The characteristics of fairy bees. B. The success of the bee atlas initiative. C. The decline of local bee populations. D. The establishment of the bee atlas project. 3.How did Zand feel at the finding of the fairy bees? A. Curious. B. Awkward. C. Confused. D. Calm. 4.What makes Kamloops an ideal habitat for bees according to Zand? A. Global warming. B. Rich plant variety. C. Human protection efforts. D. Geographic conditions. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高二上·黑龙江·期中）As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification. “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals. In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action, “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.” By September 2016, more than 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2028, In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco. 1.What fired Sarah Toumi’s passion to help others? A. Her experience in fighting against desertification. B. Her childhood living with her family in France. C. Her strong desire to become a leader to better the world. D. Her holiday trips to her father’s birthplace in Tunisia. 2.What is the main cause of desertification in Tunisia? A. The rising amount of rainfall. B. The severe shortage of water. C. The change of farming practices. D. The breakdown of rich farmers. 3.How did Sarah Toumi contribute to addressing desertification? A. By spreading the application of natural products and chemical fertilizers. B. By encouraging the farmers to plant traditional crops. C. By relocating the young from areas with no access to water to urban centres. D. By promoting sustainable farming practices and initiating tree-planting programme, 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce Sarah Toumi’s efforts to hold back the Sahara. B. To show the methods of protecting the plants in Africa. C. To call on people to fight poverty in North Africa. D. To stress the importance of extending the programme in Tunisia. 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·辽宁沈阳五校协作体·期中）Rob Kennedy was with other people in a community space. The room was decorated with an under-the-sea theme. Kennedy comes to this memory cafe twice a month since being diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s disease. Everyone here has a degree of memory loss or is a caregiver for someone with memory loss. Attendees colored on worksheets with an underwater theme. They drank coffee and had desserts. And a quick round of questions and answers gets everyone’s minds working. “We start out just like that, many of us cannot answer any of the questions,” Kennedy said with a laugh. “We all have a good time going around,” he added. “You know, we all try to make it fun.” This memory cafe in Pennsylvania is one of 600 across the country. These gatherings for people with cognitive impairment (认知缺陷) and their caregivers are relatively cheap and easy to run — often the only expense is a small rental fee for the space. The memory cafes happen twice a month. They have given him purpose, Kennedy said, and help him cope with negative emotions around his diagnosis. “I came in and I was miserable,” Kennedy said. “I come in now and it’s like a family, an extended family. I get to meet them. I get to meet their partners. I get to meet their children. So, it’s really nice.” More than six million people in the U. S. have been diagnosed with some form of dementia (痴呆). The diagnosis can be burdensome on relationships, particularly with family members who are the primary caregivers. The inclusion of caregivers is what distinguishes memory cafes from other programs that serve people with cognitive impairment, like adult day care. Memory cafes don’t offer formal treatment or support. At a memory cafe, having fun together and being social is the support for both patients and their caregivers. 1.What is the atmosphere in the memory cafe like? A. Academic. B. Religious. C. Relaxing. D. Mysterious. 2.What can we learn about the memory cafe? A. It is affordable. B. It occupies a large space. C. It is equipped with doctors. D. It exists in every community. 3.Why did Kennedy come to the memory cafe? A. To get emotional comfort. B. To regain his lost memory. C. To reduce his physical pain. D. To receive professional treatment. 4.What makes memory cafes different from adult day care? A. They offer an easy social environment. B. Caregivers can attend the gatherings. C. People in these cafes have more fun. D. They focus on formal mental support. Passage 3 （25-26高二上·黑龙江绥化市新时代·期中）I used to be the most devoted resolution-maker. Every January 1st, I would set ambitious goals like losing 50 pounds, running a marathon, or becoming the perfect parent who never got angry. Yet, I never accomplished them. By February or March, my willpower faded, and I fell back into old habits. Every winter, I’d feel guilty and ashamed, looking back at all of the amazing things I didn’t do. Everything changed when I was diagnosed (诊断) with two different cancers — breast and appendix cancer — almost at the same time. The following year was incredibly difficult, but it reshaped my perspective entirely. What I once considered “success” shifted: simply being alive with my family felt like a success. That’s when I decided I was done with New Year’s resolutions. I realized that you don’t need January 1st to start over — every day offers a chance for a fresh beginning. You can make the day you decide to be a better person a special day, regardless of what the calendar says. My old approach of dreaming big without practical steps set me up for failure. Now, I take the opposite approach: I focus on small, manageable goals. Instead of aiming for a marathon, I run 20 minutes, three days a week, at whatever pace I like. Every time I check one of my mini goals off my list, I feel proud and a sense of accomplishment. It’s a great feeling, and I don’t have to wait until the end of the year to experience it! Nearly losing my life taught me its preciousness. I no longer want to waste a minute on guilt. Cancer gave me a sense of purpose and motivated me to find a better way to feel successful. I haven’t given up on becoming a better person. But I’ve learned that there are much better ways to improve and grow than through New Year’s resolutions. 1.What was the author like before her cancer diagnosis? A. She had a gentle character. B. She achieved personal goals. C. She showed no interest in sports. D. She couldn’t maintain motivation. 2.What does the underlined word “perspective” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Personality. B. Hobby. C. Status. D. Viewpoint. 3.What kind of changes did cancers bring to the author? A. She became an ideal parent. B. She valued highly her time. C. She went on running marathon. D. She relied on detailed schedules. 4.Why does the author write this text? A. To teach us to set small goals. B. To persuade us to care for health. C. To tell us to get rid of bad habits. D. To remind us to accompany family. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $函学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 专题03阅读理解（记叙文） 基础必练 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 【答案】1.A2.C3.D4.B Passage 2 【答案】1.A2.B3.A4.D 主题语境02人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 【答案】1.D2.D3.C4.A Passage 2 【答案】1.C2.A3.B4.D 主题语境03人与自我-生活与学习 【答案】1.A2.A3.B4.D 进阶提升 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 【答案】1.C2.C3.B4.C Passage 2 【答案】1.A2.A3.B4.D 112 函学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 主题语境02人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 【答案】1.C2.A3.D4.B 主题语境03人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 【答案】1.C2.D3.D4.B Passage 2 【答案】1.D2.D3.D4.C Passage 3 【答案】1.B2.D3.D4.A 主题语境04人与自然-环境 Passage 1 【答案】1.A2.B3.A4.B Passage 2 【答案】1.C2.B3.A4.D 拓展培优 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 【答案】1.D2.B3.D4.A 主题语境02人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 Passage 2 【答案】1.C2.A3.A4.B Passage 3 【答案】1.D2.D3.B4.A 2/2
